“I found out very, very early. I was about four weeks pregnant. I was on a trip to Milan for fashion week, and I was going to the Prada show,” she told Vogue. “I was doing a really quick 24-hour turnaround, and I felt terrible but didn’t think much of it. I thought it was jet lag.”
The revelation also marked a significant moment for her husband, Elliot, whom Sofia praised for his sensitivity and support. The couple, who married April 2023 in a glamorous South of France ceremony, embraced the positive pregnancy tests together, according to USA Today. Sofia highlighted Elliot’s thoughtful reaction to what could have been disappointing news.
